9:40 AM Wed. Nov. 4th: The nightmare scenario arrived overnight as Donald Trump prematurely claimed victory even though there are millions of votes still to be counted and Joe Biden pulled ahead in several key states. Trump will seek a court order to stop the count, but that action has no chance of succeeding. Vote counting has always extended long after election day. Overnight, Biden captured Arizona, took the lead in Wisconsin and Nevada and pulled even in Michigan. Trump l

Joe Biden is the perfect individual to replace Donald Trump and restore honor and integrity to the nation's highest office. Biden isn't exciting, but after four years of the Trump family circus, we could all use a break. No insane late night tweets, no more of Rudy Giuliani's sophomoric schemes or Bill Barr's dubious legal machinations, no more of Stephen Miller's immigration horrors, and far less of Eric, Donald Jr., Jared, and Ivanka. In 2016, an crazy number of Americans d

Conservative never-Trumper David Frum of the Atlantic has a pinned tweet on his page about Trumpism that says, "when this is all over, nobody will admit to ever having supported it." I'm not sure if that's true of many of the President's grass-roots supporters who will be hoping for a restoration in 2024, but it accurately describes how many of the Republican Senators that enabled Trump's corrupt regime will react to his defeat.

With just 48 hours until election day, Joe Biden has small polling leads in each, but within the margin of error. Their importance this year can't be overstated, because even if Donald Trump wins Ohio and Texas and pulls off a comeback in both Florida and Pennsylvania, Joe Biden will probably still win if he can capture any of these three st

Donald Trump lies a lot, to the point that news outlets have run out of euphemisms for lying [misstatements of fact, fibs, exaggerations, alternative facts], and fact-checking the President has become a very depressing full time job. CNN's Daniel Dale told the Los Angeles Times that President Trump lies so much he had to “make a decision” to stop counting each one of the president’s false claims and “just focus on the big stuff.” And recently, with the election approaching, T

The "generic congressional ballot [GCB]" is a survey that asks respondents to say which party's candidate they will vote for in their local congressional race. The respondents aren't given candidate names, just parties, Democrat or Republican. It essentially asks likely voters to name the party they most trust to run the country. And, even though it just asks about congressional races, it's a great gauge of the general political climate at any given moment, and was amazingly
